WHAT THE F**K IS RESEARCH?
What is research? What does a career in academia look like? Is research right for me? How do I get started? Who do I talk to? How do I ask professors if I can join their lab? I am a broke college student and you are asking me to work for free!? Can I get paid for this work? What in the world is a "PI" (and other lab vocab)? What are the benefits of joining a lab?
WHAT CLASSES SHOULD I TAKE?
What pre-requisite classes should I take? How do pre-requisite classes line up with core BioE classes? What are the classes I should look out for? What are the resources available to support me with these difficult classes? Any tips from BioE students that have already gone through this?
